SBA ends National Small Business Week with swan song for Karen Mills

The Small Business Administration is ending its celebration of National Small Business Week with events in Washington, D.C., that serve as a swan song of sorts for SBA Administrator Karen Mills, The Business Journals reported.

Mills has been a strong leader for the SBA at a critical time, strengthening the agency's role as a source of credit for small businesses when they needed it the most. SBA lenders credit her with bringing in experienced bankers to run its lending programs, being a good listener, and streamlining agency processes.
